cities. that is, following large scale protests against the government. strict coven, 19 measures. in shanghai, there was an increase police presence in the streets this morning. authorities. there are also preparing for the possibility of more protest erecting barriers in places where people gathered over night. the rallies are a rare show of defiance against chinese authorities. with some protesters even calling for president, she is in pain to resign. but there is no sign the harsh restrictions of his 0 covet policy will be lifted any time soon. ah, this is an extraordinary moment in china, and it's spreading further. i'm wider in cities right across the country. hundreds and taking to the st. angry and fed up with the government, they wrote current policy. oh, here in the capital beijing, the line,

the bank submitted it for several hours. many holding up blank pieces of paper. now a symbol for this growing unrest and an act of defiance in the face of chinese censorship. we want basic human rights. we wanna freedom one of re our country from this on fire. absurd regulation in shanghai. another outpouring of anger and something difference that will concern not only china's ruling party, but also it's leda. oh, my god, amongst the crowd, one protest, the shouts out. down with she ging ping bigger than they reply in unison stepped down. oh, it's dangerous to criticize the government on his lee to hell and such a public challenge is extremely rare. oh to there's no surprise when police move in that detain, protested oh. and earlier we

spoke with journalists, fabian crashing r n b j for the latest. yeah, our to day, i mean it's really, it seems calm here also in beijing where there are several hundreds of not thousands of protesters together last night. but still, you see a lot of pro police not only in uniforms awesome plainclothes and you know, it could snap any time. and it's really a tense atmosphere. and me as a journalist, i was immediately kicked out of the protest site. and just by standing there when they identified me as a journalist, am, so let's see how it will develop. i mean, in shanghai, what the authorities did, they basically fenced of all the squares. they fenced off, or several streets. but i mean, yeah that's, that's of course intimidating. and yeah, we know that there have been several arrests, but i mean what they cannot do as a to change the attitude. there were already so many protests out there last night and they achieved it. they did it and many people are saw it and they spread from

word to word. and i think that has a big impact. tell us a little bit more also about how authorities have been reacting to the protest and how that reaction has been evolving. yes, so last night in beijing for example, the reaction was rather cautious. i got the feeling that there were a little bit. i'm waiting to see how it develops into protest, see where peaceful there were very critical. i also against the government, but what they did not do is they were not directly criticizing, seizing pinging or demanding to that for him to step down. that happened in shanghai and, you know, that had huge consequences. there were a lot of arrests, actually. and also today there were arrests and even, you know, one or foreign correspondent foreign journalist was arrested and even, you know, physically harassed and but he has a british passport there. so he got a free and released after several hours. a chinese don't have that protection a, i'm sure many of those were protesting within the group our,

where you'd political slogans. i shouted. they faced several years in prison. that is really a very great risk. tell us a little bit more about the potential repercussions that you've highlighted there. yeah, so, i mean you, you don't have a rule of law here. so basically if the police takes away, and i mean, it happens that you know, especially for human rights or, and quote unquote crime that people just disappear for several years. so am, i mean, you definitely don't have a legal protection if you are in a political protest and basically you could be em, sued for, am no subversion or provoking a trouble or always quote unquote. but i mean, basically the state can just look you up and this is not only for a short time, it can really be for me, very many years that the encroachment engaging. thank you. and germany is president frank thought a style my are has given his reaction to the protest in china expressing his hope that they remain peaceful the i live in on,

on snow her. we all remember our own fight against the corona virus, against the pandemic. and we still remember how much of a burden that was for many in germany the could. nora can only imagine how great the burden is for people in china. where the measures are much stricter. have been in place much longer and are still being and forces are devising on to desert. happy for sent this to view this. that's why i understand that people are expressing their impatience and their grievances on the streets. and as the democrats, i can only say that freedom of expression is an important public good. and i can only connect what we are seeing with the hope that the state authorities in china respect the right to freedom of expression, freedom to protest, to find my notes along. and of course, i hope that the demonstrations remain peaceful. dusty the one slow to inflict blood and that was the term precedent speaking the teeth up even is here's

a look at some other stories making news around the world. at least 4 people have died after militant storm day hotel in somali is capital mogadishu. security forces are fighting to regain control of the building, which is popular with politicians, algebra militants, who are affiliated with al qaeda, have claimed responsibility for the attack. australia's parliament is to censure former prime minister scott morrison for secretly appointing himself to a number of ministries during the coven pandemic. age additional increase found that morrison had not acted illegally, but that the secrecy had undermined trust in the government. at least 14 people have died in the land side outside of cameron's capital yard. one day the victims had been attending a funeral ceremony. rescue teams are still searching for survivors. as dozens more are missing. the governor described the area as dangerous and urged people to leave

trying to pick up the pieces are eligible to amboy available to day, we'll clean up and then we'll see what we have to fix and try to restore everything a lot without feeling sorry for ourselves. because that's the way it says. gotcha. we can't wait for help because we are thought are you, do you know, the wide scale damage has pushed the government to call a state of emergency and announced the 2000000 euro aid program. but some residents accused the government of not doing enough, despite knowing the island is prone to earthquakes and storms sooner alone by it's the fault of our old politicians who didn't do the preventative work on the mountains. they cut down the trees, and this is the consequence. it already happened in 2010 when a 15 year old girl died. this time it was a catastrophe withheld. this year is

a densely populated volcanic island tourism has led to a construction boom and climate activists argue large scale building has reduced green spaces and trees in the region. ukraine's president below them is the lensky has urged his country to prepare for a new wave of russian air strikes. as long as they have rockets, they won't rest lensky said in a video address, referring to russia's military. and it's a tax on critical infrastructure. there's been no russian response to his claims. last week intensified russian strikes subjected ukrainians to the most acute power causes. since the war began. as of sunday, millions still had little like electricity or heat. though authorities say that power and water has now largely been restored to the capital keith of fighting as far from over in the southern city of harrison, though it's back under ukrainian control. russian forces continue to shell, the city from across the ne pro river. at the same time,

people there are coming to grips with the past 8 months of russian occupation. it obviously conley met with 2 residents who survived weeks of torture. and a warning, some viewers might find the descriptions of violence in this report, upsetting during for food, huddling around the few working why fi hotspots carrying on in spite of the shelling all around them. this is what every day life looks like. have san goldman . keith was people to evacuate, 2 areas of power, water away from the russian guns. the new in victoria state put during 8 long months of russian occupation and not about to go anywhere. no. they might seem like old friends. they only met september. the seller of this unremarkable office look as prisoners and others of either forced their way at her flat my grandma sternly screaming. they let her off into the bathroom. soon had

a bag over my head and they just started beating me over and over. who's your president, who's your president, you're coming with us way and it's gonna be a lot of fun until i miss. the neil had subscribe to appro ukrainian chuck group on telegram enough for her sons increasingly anxious was not supposed to come off to him. victoria had been volunteering, taking food to people in need when her group came into suspicion for contacts in government control territory. even when the russians rated her home, they found ukrainian flags, army souvenirs and postcards. beautiful char, i guess that means your enemy doesn't. at the interrogator asked me, i agreed with him, but what do people do to their enemies? he asked, i killed them. i replied, that you're right, he said, but they tortured them fast and everybody i didn't think i'd get out of there alive . i do a one in the home to landed during the neil had no idea where it was that being kept there. he realized it spent all those weeks in the middle of hudson and they recognized pictures of their basement shed online. we tried to go inside,

but the police isn't letting any one in the risk of russian mines is just too high . all denise victoria ever saw was their self. as soon as they left it, there were captain hoods, the captors determined to remain unseen. but as little as they could see, they could hear more than they wanted to. it was the worst was hearing you screams lighting. i was the loudest in our basement during the interrogation. see of what all the cells could hear yelping. i was unbearable. the men's shouts didn't travel quite as far, but when you started, all i could do was pray that they go easy. all you knew of was all quite up within the pat my last interrogation, my hands were bound. the pain from the electric shocks was so bad that i didn't even notice that i pulled a nail out. but all of a sudden i could feel the blood dripping my hands. my trousers were they were all covered in blood. the lead bout, but the most terrifying moment was still to come of 2 weeks without news while the

inmates was suddenly driven out to the city that god setting them. it was time to say that pres, on the side of the that they made every one record a short video. you had to say your name, your date of birth, and saying to the camera that you are alive and well. for a moment i was really worried. what do they need this for? which was did they need an alibi? and when you brush geffrey at the ceiling, they were told to close their eyes and count to a 100. but instead of the shots that expected they heard, they kept his driving away without them me. after that, the likelihood their russian kept his low face justice is slim, they tortured the evidence as they left. at least one good thing has come of it, all retorted, tells me redone. being scared, iran meantime has arrested some 14000 people in its brutal cracked allan protest over the past 2 months. according to un figures. to ron says that more than $44.00 nationals are among them. in many cases, western diplomats are refused access to their citizens. police have repeatedly

opened fire on protesters across the country. the u. n. is considering whether to launch an international investigation into the crack down. the protests were triggered in september by the death in police custody of 22 year old ma hossa, a meanie who was arrested for wearing her head score too loosely. and early i spoke with miriam clarence since october of 2020 her mother. no heed to garvey has been imprisoned in iran, and i asked her how her mother is hello. and 1st of all, i want to salute the break people off iran and announced my solidarity. and my mom is right now at the women being off notorious evan prison. she was recently on medical law, but despite not completing medical treatment, she was brought back to evan prison on november 13. and this came up of the

relationship between germany and they slamming republic. i'll be ron escalated because my mom is a german citizen. but tell us a little bit more about that dual citizenship because as he mentioned, she is german. iranian, how does that help or hurt her case? and unfortunately, they slam with, with public oberon has a long history in using do all foreign nationals as bargaining chips and negotiation with the other country. in our case, this is germany. so since my mom has a do us citizen shit and iran says they do not recognize their german cities then ship. so she has no counsellor. ab says the german authorities are not able to attend her trial. that on the other hand, when it comes to their benefits and they want to negotiate, they use the dual and foreign nationals to get some kind

of things from the west and government. this can be some business and a relation that gets better are in some cases we saw prisoners swaps or even money and has been paid for the prisoners. so what do you think you know, has happening or is happening now to those 40 foreigners who have been reportedly arrested during protest. given what you know from the experience with your mother? first of all, let me say clear that i think we should always see the big picture because as you mentioned before, i start speaking more than 40000 people have been arrested. but it's very concerning death more than 40 foreign or do i nationalists and has been arrested during this time because this means said they slamming republic of iran is and

preparing new hostage cases. and i don't know if they are going to and hold them all, but i'm sure that and they are not going to be freed without any negotiation. and i think what we saw in the case of my mother, and in the case of other dwell, national or foreign nationals, is that they are always been treated more security in for example. and they were never get out of bed and 2 of before they go to their trial, they have all very long solitary confinement. and in the while serving their sentences, they are always something like special prisoners. and for example, when there was the fire in evan prison on october 15, and the american citizens and web brought to another place immediately after the

fire broke out. so this shows us that they have much value for these la mic republic of iran. and that also show us that it's not only a thing between the prisoner and these law, mac republic of iran. and there is, the western governments are responsible to because the plight of the foreign and blood national prisoners is very much connected to the relationship to the less than government where the prisoners from to given all of that. what is your message now to the international community? i think that it is very important and that the international community shows their solidarity with the people of iran. we are now witnessing very strong movement. some people call it a revolution in iran. and, and i think it's important to stay by the people of iran to and then, and of course the current situation may be bad for the foreign or do i

nationalism. as i said, my mother was brought back to evan prison, 24 hours after our german chancellor did a statement on iran. and i think and it is more important to get iran free. and when iran is free, i think the dwaa are a nationalist, would be free to well, thank you so much for joining us, miriam clarence, for joining us with that message. and also for telling us about your mother's case . we very much appreciate it. thank you. now for many people, it is hard to imagine life without a plastic, but while it's uses our, unless we also know that it's polluting our planet, that's why delegates from around the world are meeting an org. why with their sites set on an internationally binding treaty to help when the world off of its plastic addiction turtles getting dangerously close to plastic bags an image that has become symbolic of the world's plastic problem. and one that wildly does the hoping

to put to rest negotiate is from across the globe, a meeting this week to work on a legally binding agreement that is hoped will curb plastic pollution including that found in the ocean. plastic as a material and the pollutant is totally trans boundaries in the last couple of years. that's been this growing recognition that we need to have something at the global level, some kind of policy instrument that's going to really capture the whole plastic lifecycle. plastic is an extremely versatile material. it's used to package food to make fabrics for our clothes, and it's used in our cosmetics and beyond. while plastic was made in relatively small amounts in the 1950s production has increased exponentially. and 201300 1000000 tons of plastic were produced to day that has grown to 400000000 tons every year. but it is also highly polluting plastic accumulates of

litter in nature. much of it ends up in landfills. micra plastics or major cells concern plastic is broken into small pieces becoming micro plastics. they come from rubber tires and washing synthetic fibers. they have been found in the deepest section of the ocean in animals and even in human blood. recycling has long been proposed to solution to plastic pollution companies, market products on the basis that, that made from recycle plastic or can be recycled. but only around 9 percent of plastic, walt white is recycled. there were standing in the face of years of failed voluntary commitments. you know, the major, the major multinational companies that set targets or improving recyclable, etc, for which you think the amount of plastic ease. there's absolutely no accountability to any kind of legal framework. nations have pledged to reach an agreement on plastic by 2024. only time will tell whether it will be successful or just mo plastic promises. ah. at the world cup in could tar germany

restored some pride after their defeat to japan by dr. 11 with spain and group e, but they still need to win their last game against costa rica to have any chance of qualifying for the knockout stage. spain. so darren turns in this game right from the stars, danny almo, coming close, 7 minutes in. but manuel noir in gold and the crossbow both came to germany's rescue. has he flicks i looked most dangerous and set pieces, but sadly for then antonia roodick as header was rude out of sight. the mountains fine between success and failure into the 2nd half in spain drew fresh blood. our var murata had only been on the field 8 minutes. a typical poaching finished from him as an inspired substitution by spain coach louisa pre k. but anything he can do slick can't to. his super sub strike had nicholas full crew

smashed in germany's equalizer with 7 minutes to go. raymond's full crew, repaying flake and bucket loads for his call up to the squad relief then for the coach will be hoping this doesn't turn out to be a temporary reprieve. and database up with germany, fans in could tar after that nail biting match with many not satisfied after the 11 draw. i have mixed feelings. oh, i don't know. should i be happy because we're down 10. i'm pretty much our the tournament or should i be sad because i feel like we try to try to score in the last minute a little bit more, get something from chances, a score. now we i have to beat costa rica. now we have to figure out a way to get a lucky, i guess because of jap roger bandwidth or then we have no chance without efficiency . efficiency, they just need to score. i mean for example, mozilla perfect dribbling but he just needs to score. so if they do it, then they will just go one goal. they will do $34.00 goals. yeah,

excellent for relief. like it was quite disappointing. first match could believe that we lose another. so some hope. and it was big shock and group f, where morocco b belgium to nel substitute abdulla homage. seberio opened the scoring when his free cake went straight in on 73 minutes. and another sub the carrier uh book law made the game safe from morocco, an injury time to stun belgium's collection of stars. and spark chaos in the belgian capital. brussels, where police detained around a dozen people after riots broke out in several parts of the city on sunday evening . dozens of soccer fans some draped american flags, clashed with police with water cannon and tear gas. back on the pitch croatia have moved to the top of group asked thanks way comfortable for one victory over canada who go out of the tournament forward. andre cromer,

rich scored twice for croatia. this was the 2nd goal and malicious 3rd on 70 minutes. putting the game beyond canada's reach militia, our top of the group on 4 points seems morocco of next, indeed, abuse in his eco india to stay with us if you can for that in the meantime. thank you so much for watching. i'm sarah kelly and berlin. take care ah, with ah, with
